This 1967 Buick Gran Sport was restored to my specifications by Paintworks Unlimited in Dover, New Hampshire. Paintworks Unlimited performs top notch classic car restorations of all makes and models but specializes in 1965-1972 Buicks. They are active Buick owners, enthusiasts, club members and have restored dozens of award winning classic Buicks from this era. I have a full appraisal of this car from Paintworks available upon request as well as 150+ pictures chronicling the detailed restoration process. I am happy to put you in touch with the owner of Paintworks Unlimited to discuss this car and I encourage you to research the companies’ reputation and work. With the modified 455 motor, ratchet shifter and oversize wheels/tires, and aluminum radiator currently in the car, this is a very fast, highly street-able, ’67 Buick Gran Sport that I would classify as a mild ‘resto-mod’. This auction also includes the original drive train as well as all original equipment that was removed and stored during the restoration. Drivetrain:This auction includes two complete drive trains-the original numbers matching, 400 motor (with original Rochester carburetor) and TH-400 transmission as well as the modified 455 and TH-400 which are currently currently in the car.
